He is totally corporate. Teach for America corporate. Did he consult Baltimore organizers about running? To whom does he CURRENTLY turn for policy advice? What is his process for decisionmaking NOW and is that process inclusive? Has he had the experience of being more accountable to grassroots black folks than to TV cameras? And why does he allow the media to call him Black Lives Matter when his individualism and focus on interaction with moneyed white elites suggest that he is not grounded in our core values?
